Chaoge City, Royal Palace, Star-Zhaing Tower!

The Star-Zhaing Tower is the tallest building in Chaoge City. Some people say that this tower reaches into the sky and is directly connected to the stars in the sky. Others say that this tower is used to collect the essence of the sun, moon and stars. Others say,

Each floor of this building hides the entrance to the Paradise Paradise. As many Dongtian Paradise as Dashang has, this building has as many floors...

In short, among the people of Chaoge City, there are countless legends about the Star-Zhaing Tower, but Wen Zhong is one of the rare people who can directly enter the Star-Zhaing Tower without notification.

Today, Wen Zhong entered the Star-Zhaing Tower in a hurry. When the guards saw Wen Zhong's appearance, they could guess that it must be the group of barbarians from Xiqi who started to cause trouble and rebel again!

Speaking of these barbarians in Xiqi, the people in Chaoge were filled with hatred!

who are they?

They are people from the capital, people from the imperial capital. If they have a household registration book, the place of birth in their small book must be Chaoge.

But if the Xiqi rebellion succeeds, can we all continue to be members of the capital if we just talk about the household registration issue?

For this reason, the people in Chaoge didn't have a good impression of Xiqi and Ji Fa at all.

As for Jiang Ziya, his reputation has long been ruined!

You are an out-and-out businessman, born and raised in Dashang, eating and drinking from Dashang. But as soon as you turned around, you took refuge in Xiqi. Isn't this heartless?

Has the king persecuted you?

Did the great nobles persecute you?

No one is persecuting you at all, so you took the initiative to defect to Xiqi. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs?

The people in the capital always know more, but at this moment Wen Zhong had no intention of thinking about the people in the capital because he had already met Di Xin.

"Your Majesty, now that the secrets have been completely disrupted and the method of deducing the secrets is completely ineffective, I guess Xiqi may be making a big move!"

"In addition, Beibohou Chonghouhu was killed by his younger brother Chongheihu, and the whole country of Beibohou completely fell to Xiqi."

Upon hearing the death of Chonghou Hu, Emperor Xin frowned and snorted: "Chonghou Hu is the real Beibeihou and has a long heritage. How could such brother-killing happen so casually?"

The original Chonghou Hu was one of Di Xin's die-hard supporters.

No matter how you say Di Xin is a Shang king, after so many generations, regardless of his righteousness and accumulation of knowledge, it is really normal to have a few true hardcores.

And this Chonghouhu is one of the few. Even if Emperor Xin takes action against the great nobles, he still firmly supports the great nobles of Emperor Xin.

But Chonghou Hu died, killed by his younger brother Chong Heihu!

Either they are people from Xiqi and people who explain the teaching secretly help.

Either the ancestors of Beibohou's line felt that Emperor Xin was unreliable, so they ordered his younger brother Chongheihu to kill his older brother Chonghouhu.

In this way, the elder brother Chonghouhu is a die-hard loyal minister of Dashang, and the younger brother Chong Heihu is a die-hard loyal minister of Xiqi.

One was stabbed in the back by his younger brother because he was loyal to Emperor Xin, and the other directly killed his brother because he was loyal to Xiqi. In any case, he was considered a loyal minister.

Therefore, if Xiqi wins in the future, then Chong Heihu will be the real hero and loyal minister, and must be rewarded generously, otherwise people will not accept it.

If Emperor Xin wins in the future, then Emperor Xin will only kill Chongheihu to avenge Chonghouhu, and then find a suitable one among Chonghouhu's sons to inherit the title of Chonghouhu. This is only consistent

rule.

So after Chongheihu killed Chonghouhu, no matter how it develops in the future, the Beibohou lineage will be in an invincible position!

Unfortunately, this is just Di Xin’s guess!

No evidence!

This is very uncomfortable!

What's even more uncomfortable is the meaning of Bei Bohou's lineage doing this. Isn't the reason why they did this just because they don't like Di Xin?

"Your Majesty, no matter what, Bei Bohou has already turned to Xiqi, plus those eight hundred princes who are just like grass on the wall, as well as the large and small nobles in the country who are divided, we must make a decision!"

"The old minister suggested that we launch a general purge directly. The more times like this, the less tolerance there is for tolerance. It is better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go. If there are suspects, even if they are not killed for the time being, they cannot be placed in key positions."

"Isn't this a little inappropriate? Some nobles followed the monarchs of the past to conquer the world. They worked hard and made great achievements. It is inappropriate to attack them directly without any reason." At this point, Di Xin sighed again.

.

"Among the eight major families, the eight hundred princes, and the four great princes, there are indeed many people who are loyal to Xiqi, but most of them still remain neutral. Under the constraints of great righteousness, they will not take the initiative to attack Dashang. At most, they will remain neutral.

."

Such neutrals are the strongest in number and strength!

Nowadays, Xiqi is aggressive and seems to be astonishing, but Di Xin believes that it is better to be still than to move. The more it is like this, the more calm it is!

And once Di Xin loses his mind, starts a big purge, and starts to get involved, then it will really be over!

Because in this era, the eight major families, the eight hundred princes, and the four princes are almost equivalent to one family, and the nobles and nobles in the country are almost one family with them.

They are all relatives to each other. Any small nobleman who can find at most eight noble relatives can be related to Ji Fa and others.

This is the current situation. The general environment is like this, and it is simply impossible to carry out a big purge!

Nobles are all relatives, the difference is distance.

Do you want to simply say that those who are close to Xiqi's relatives are not allowed to do so, and those who are further away are kept?

But it’s useless!

Those who are closely related to Xiqi, there are no loyal ministers of the Great Shang? Those who are distantly related to Xiqi, there are no Xiqi Anzi?

If we really continue to investigate, this is a bottomless pit, and it will also disappoint the neutral party Di Xin, and even turn to Xiqi directly.

"To calm down, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks Xiqi has, what ultimately decides everything is the hard power between each other! Today's Dachang is still the common master of the world, and Gu Ye is still the king of men. As long as Gu Ye is not in chaos, then

Xiqi’s conspiracy will not succeed!”

"Even though DaShang's strength has dropped to its lowest level in history due to Gu's reforms, Gu is still not afraid. Because even at this moment, DaShang still has the upper hand in terms of hard power!"

"So Gu's idea is to drag it on. After one hundred thousand years, Dashang's national strength will double. After two hundred thousand years, Dashang's national strength will double again. After one million years, Dashang's national strength will double again.

Even if Xiqi doesn't take action, Dashang will destroy Xiqi."

"This is Gu's idea. It's upright, so why do you need all kinds of means? Keep it calm. As long as Gu doesn't mess up, the big merchants won't be in chaos."

…

Nanjing, a palace somewhere.

"To calm it down, Di Xin made a good move." Looking at the information in front of him, Ying Zheng said with a smile.

This was a small meeting, and only a few people including Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Bai Qi were present.

"For Di Xin, this is actually the best way, at least one of the best. Today's big merchants are still above Xiqi in terms of strength. Just keep them quiet and wait for a million years for the reform to be completed.

After that, Xiqi will naturally no longer be a problem. However, as long as Ji Fa is not a fool, he will definitely make a desperate move!" Bai Qi said confidently.

In terms of cultivation, Bai Qi may not be as good as the professional monks in this ancient world, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, they can't!

"So what does Master Bai think is Di Xin's best approach at this moment?" Ying Zheng asked.

"When discussing the best way, we must first look at the horizon!" At this point, Bai Qi took out a knife and started to cut into the watermelon in front of him.

After a few steady cuts, the watermelon was divided into four parts of different sizes. Pointing to the two upper pieces, Bai Qi began to speak: "Today's world is just like these four pieces of watermelon."

"Xiqi is the little melon on the far left. He is small and refined. He is united from top to bottom, but his strength and size are limited. Even as time goes by, Xiqi's fighting spirit will continue to wear away, leading to complete annihilation.

Then there will be the end of being wiped out.”

Having said this, Bai Qi picked up the smallest watermelon and bit it in one bite. After two or three bites, Bai Qi pointed to the melon with the largest teeth on the side and said: "The one with the largest teeth is today's Dashang."

, the righteousness has not been lost, and there are no obvious mistakes, and we are still the co-owners of the human race."

"The foundation accumulated over thousands of years is extremely profound. Even at this moment, Dashang's hard power is still far stronger than Xiqi, and it is the most powerful force in the world today."

After a while, Bai Qi finished eating the largest watermelon, pointing to the remaining two watermelons, one large and one small, and said: "These two watermelons are the empire today, and the smaller ones are the empire floating on the water."

Above, the strength shown is stronger than Xiqi and weaker than Dashang."

"This big one is the hidden strength of the empire. If the small one and the big one are added together, then the empire's strength will be the best in the world today. Once this happens, Shang and Zhou should join forces."

Bai Qi quickly finished the big and small watermelon: "So, now Di Xin's strategy can't be said to be wrong. It can only be said that he doesn't know much about the empire, so he formulated what seems to be the most suitable strategy.

The current strategy of Dashang."

"First stick to the levels of checkpoints, use those generals who are absolutely reliable and very powerful to guard the checkpoints, and protect Dashang and Chaoge layer by layer. At the same time, accelerate reforms and enhance national power. A million years later, send troops to destroy Xiqi

, and then crusade against the empire.”

"The biggest problems with this strategy are two. First, the empire's strength far exceeds Di Xin's imagination, and the empire's development speed also far exceeds Di Xin's imagination. Give the empire a million years, and the empire's floating strength will be

Can catch up with big merchants."

After all, Dashang's current territory is just a small piece of territory in the heart of the Central Plains. Although it has a large population and is the best place in the world, its area is too small.

And what about Da Qin?
